[ale] why apple sucks more

That illustrates my point about software patents entirely.  There's
nothing specific in the language or any design specification.  The
wording of the patent could even cover displaying an ad in a browser
window.

Just say "No" to software patents!

new man. We tried so hard to create a society that was equal, where
there'd be nothing to envy your neighbour. But there's always something
to envy. A smile, a friendship, something you don't have and want to
appropriate. In this world, even a Soviet one, there will always be rich
and poor. Rich in gifts, poor in gifts. Rich in love, poor in love." --
